We present the innovative "Vat Always - Fills 550 liters" system, designed to guarantee optimal preservation of wine and other food liquids.
This tank features an adjustable lid that adapts to any capacity, preventing the wine from coming into contact with air when the tank is not completely full.
Ideal for wine fermentation and preservation, cider, liquors, spirits, honey, water, and more, this system includes a stainless steel ball valve for the clear outlet, another stainless steel ball valve for the turbid outlet, an always-full lid with chamber and piston, an airlock valve, and three legs.
The tank measurements are as follows:
- Diameter: 800 mm
- Body height: 1000 mm
- Total height: 1500 mm
The introduction of metal tanks marked a milestone in enology at that time.
Previously, the hygienic conditions, especially in microbiological terms, were not ideal.
However, with the arrival of metal tanks, a completely inert and unalterable container was achieved, which was airtight and easy to clean, disinfect, and transport if necessary.
This completely changed the enological conception of that time.
In addition, these tanks offered the possibility of temperature control, either through evaporation or through external coils or jackets.
The advantages of this system are numerous: they are unalterable and harmless, they have almost perfect airtightness, they are easy to clean and disinfect, they have a good thermal exchange capacity, and they can be easily adapted to temperature control systems such as jackets and coils.
They require no maintenance and their lifespan is practically unlimited.
Furthermore, they can withstand a wide range of pressures and can be manufactured in different volumes and models, making them highly versatile.
In summary, the "Vat Always - Fills 550 liters" is made of stainless steel 304, although it can also be made of stainless steel 316 upon request.
Please note that this model is made to order, with an estimated manufacturing time of 15 to 20 days.
